		<title>Interactive Balafon @ DIY Music Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of videos of my Interactive Balafon at DIY Music Day 2010. The balafon is a type of wooden marimba from West Africa (here is a great video of a balafon solo). The World Museum Liverpool has one as part of its collection but visitors aren&#8217;t allowed to play it. This interactive piece enables [...]]]></description>

		<title>DIY Music Day photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photos from the day. Unfortunately these are only from the 3rd floor room where myself and cybersonica were stationed. We didn&#8217;t really get chance to look at all the other stuff going on, but it was, by all accounts, a great day. Really interesting to be part of a group of musicians, artists and makers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interactive Instruments #3: wooden percussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Video of me testing a piece I have developed in Isadora for the DIY Music Day tomorrow. I will be able to calibrate it a bit better once I&#8217;m in the space, but for now its look good and should work really well once its displayed 10ft wide.

The day has been organised by Ross Dalziel (soundnetwork) [...]]]></description>

		<title>The signs are all there&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have just started work on another Re-Dock project involving the Leeds-Liverpool canal. Building on the work we did for Canal &#38;, we are using the memories and ideas gathered as a starting point for a signage installation next to the new Pennington Road bridge.
&#8216;Constellation Of Signs&#8217; will be made of over 100 aluminium road [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archiving the Archive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have just finished a 4 week stint as a &#8216;film-maker&#8217; in residence at the North West Film Archive as part of AND Festival. I have to develop a 20 minute film for screening with a live soundtrack for September. I spent my time there trying to take in as much of the archive as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cinema Memory Posters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week at Screen Deva I ran a workshop where people could screen print their own Cinema Memory Posters. It was the first time I had run the workshop and with typical optimism I totally underestimated the time each print would take to prepare, but we had a great day nonetheless, producing over 20 different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ash cloud causes chaos &#8211; &#8216;Volcano&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here is the video for &#8216;Volcano&#8216; by Liverpool mod-rockers The Universal. A thumping rock love song with catchy riffs if I ever heard one. I filmed the band last Friday at Liverpool Sound City and am really pleased with the outcome. More pleased than usual, as this was the second attempt at filming the band.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was kindly invited to speak about my work with Isadora at an event in Manchester called &#8216;inProcessing&#8217;, run by Cybersonica (http://inprocessing.cybersonica.org). It was held at MadLab (http://madlab.org.uk) &#8211; a volunteer run arts space in the Northern Quarter that provides basic workshop and tech facilities to digital arts activities.
InProcessing is an event to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moves Opening Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo documentation of the Moves 10 launch in April where I performed a VJ set alongside sound scientist Tom Rea Smith (Amos) and TV Lux man Tristan Brady-Jacobs. It&#8217;s really nice to see how it looked to the audience, especially the Tangram-making section, which I couldn&#8217;t see at all due to my wrestling with those darn puzzles.
